Built By Fundraisers, For Fundraisers
Strong fundraising requires more than data.
It requires the right insight, delivered with clarity and purpose—and it requires meticulously tracked costs, so you gain a true return on investment analysis.
That’s why we built Merlin®, our exclusive nonprofit donor analytics platform, from the ground up. Merlin® gives nonprofit leaders complete visibility into their program, allowing you to understand what happened, when it happened, why it happened, and what comes next. Whether you’re presenting to a board, planning your next campaign, or evaluating a multi-year investment, your donor data analytics are always within reach and ready to use.
Digital Campaign Reporting
Merlin® delivers a 360-degree view of all your campaigns and programs across all channels. With more than 35 different reports and 50+ views of your data, from top-level executive summaries to detailed segment information, everything you need is right at your fingertips.
Avalon’s campaign reports show the overall and detailed performance of every campaign, every package, and every segment, with easy-to-read graphics designed to keep leadership informed and programs on track.
Key Stats Snapshot
For leadership, board meetings, or campaign planning, our Key Stats Snapshot delivers the top-level metrics that matter. See year-over-year revenue, high-value donor trends, monthly campaign performance, and channel-by-channel comparisons.
Everything in one clean, visual dashboard built to communicate quickly and clearly with any audience.
Testing
Avalon’s Testing Dashboard monitors and validates all tests across channels and across fiscal years. Merlin® houses an ongoing testing log that includes results and rollout decisions, so you never lose sight of what worked, what didn’t, and why. It’s a living record of your program’s learning and the foundation for smarter decisions over time.
